Wireless internet

Our wireless network can be accessed on any enabled device in libraries, student union buildings and computer access labs.

Just look for ‘UniSydney’ in your Wi-Fi settings, and use your UniKey and password to login. If you’re prompted to install or trust a security certificate, make sure the name is ‘auth.wireless.sydney.edu.au’ before you hit ‘accept’.

Find a computer

Computers can be found in IT Access labs, learning hubs and libraries. Every ICT computer has standard productivity software, including Microsoft Office Suite, Adobe Design Premium CS6, media players and Google Chrome.

Learning hubs also have free scanning facilities, Wi-Fi, and study areas for solo or group work.

Learning on the go

Course-specific applications that were previously only available in specific teaching labs are now available on all ICT computers through virtual desktops.

This includes widely used programs such as Skype and Filemaker Pro, as well as academic referencing and course-specific software.

You can customise your virtual desktop so that your bookmarks, downloads and applications are available on any ICT computer when you log out and back in.

Staying in touch

Your address is in the format of unikey@uni.sydney.edu.au. Login using your UniKey password.

Back up your data

We suggest you keep a backup of your files by emailing them to yourself at the end of each study session. Alternatively, use an external USB drive or save them to an online file storage service such as Dropbox or iCloud.
